“Chapter One: So Smart in Their Fine Uniforms...”

From the creative team of Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco comes Arrowsmith, a World War I–era fantasy series that opens its first chapter with one of the most arresting images of 2003: a massive, scarlet dragon coiled around a military sword, breathing fire against a battlefield ablaze with smoke and flame. Inked by Jesús Merino and colored by Alex Sinclair, the cover immediately signals a world where the horrors of industrial-age warfare and the raw power of mythological creatures collide. If the promise of "So Smart in Their Fine Uniforms…" is anything like what Pacheco and Merino have put on this cover, readers are in for something genuinely gripping.
